Berkley at 4 months

Today, just you and I went to your 4 month check-up.  You did so good, and hardly cried after getting your shots.  One things for sure, now having had two children, I have come to realize how easy it is when I just have one of my two treasures with me :)  I suppose the more children you have, it will always be easier if you don't have everyone with you at the same time :) 

You are just growing, growing, growing, but not quite as fast as your sister!  Point of interest... I looked back in Kenadie's baby book, and at her 4 month check-up, she was already 2 5/8" longer than Berkley!  They started out with a 2" difference in their length.

Weight: 13 lbs. 9ozs.  (50th percentile)

Height: 24 5/8 inches (60th percentile)

Head Circumference: 15 5/8 inches (20th percentile)

As of today, you are taking  (6) 4 1/2 oz. bottles every 3 hours.  And as of tomorrow, I think we are going to try getting you on a 4 hour schedule.  In this past month, you have bumped your bedtime up to 6:30 pm and usually sleep until about 6:30 am.  We are still waking you around 10 pm for one last bottle, and then putting you right back down, but that is also something we are going to try to drop soon, possibly tonight :)  Lots of changes about to occur in regards to your schedule :) 

You are still super content, and hardly ever fuss.  You are rolling over from tummy to back, as well as back to tummy, and also grabbing at everything like crazy, my hair for one :)  You are very ticklish, and it is still super hard to get giggles from you.  I just love your big gummy smile I get every morning when you wake up!  One of my most favorite times of the day for sure!  You recently made your first trip to North Carolina to see Uncle Wes, Aunt Joy, Hayden and Henry.  It's a 13 hour trip, and you couldn't have done better!  You are still sleeping in the cradle in our bedroom at night.  I just like you right there beside me :)  I suppose when you start to sit up, the cradle days will be over, but for now, I'm enjoying it :)  You have started teething, and I'm afraid the "bibless" days have come to an end!  You keep your hands in your mouth ALL the time.

You are such a joy, and we love you very much!
